English 11: (FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FIFTH, EIGHTH)
No bellringers today. Go ahead and read chapter 2 of Their Eyes Were Watching God. If the substitute is able, she/he will play the audio version. If they cannot do that, you can put in your earbuds and play it for yourself. Download here. Please read while you listen. You are twice as likely to remember and understand the text if you listen while you read.
If you do not finish in class, it’s homework. Quiz on Monday.
Here is the information you need to get ready for the benchmark:
- MLK/JFK pages 1102-1112
- antithesis
- parallelism
- allusion
- know how to find the main idea
- personification
- imagery
- context clues
- conflict
- connotation
- denotation
- frame story
- bellringer type of questions
As you can see, most of these questions will be skills based and not content based.
